How does one get started in real estate?

Claudio Drullard: Becoming a licensed sales agent doesn't help. Depending on your location, that may or may not be possible at your age. Usually it's a 40 or 75 hour pre-licensing course, followed by a state exam and fee. You need to be at least 18 in most states. Most larger brokerages have a difficult time finding and keeping agents, so they will take on as many as they can on the off-chance that the individual will bring in additional clients.
